GET THE INSIDE SCOOP FROM OUR PEOPLE

"Vetco Clinics have created a wonderful avenue for me to keep up with general practice skills while I pursue my advanced laboratory animal medicine residency. I can pick up relief shifts whenever it suits my busy schedule. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the teams, the opportunity to teach veterinary assistants, to provide medical care for my patients, as well as answering client questions. Ultimatley, the staff and the rapport I have established with the clients I see continues to draw me back to Vetco"

"We prioritize quality patient care and client communication and everything else flows from that focus. Vetco Total Care is making great strides to change the idea of 'corporate' medicine from a stigm to an indication of all the layers of support pets and pet parents will receive"
